A beautiful Blue Sky Walking Day !!! 😊 So we sit having coffee in the garden … Mandy does quite a lot of ‘planty’ stuff, while I supervise 🤣 And then we head off out to The Friary, for a Blue Sky Walking Day Walk 😊. Taking coffee with us, we walk to my favourite… Continue reading DAY 48

Nothing to report today (1/1/23). Continuing to get stronger, and more mobile. I checked and topped up Mandy’s car tyres 👏👏 Had a slightly weird message from King’s College Hospital about a phone appointment on Tuesday … But life is good 😊😊

Well, another day to chill, and think back over 2022. For me like many people, I guess, the worst part of 2022 is the horrendous terrorist attack on Ukraine. A really good part of 2022, for me/us is the way that we’ve worked through my Myeloma diagnosis back in February, followed by four months of… Continue reading DAY 46

It’s Friday, and a lazy (very wet) day after a good week. Important to have a lazy day, because I’m very tired after yesterday’s activities. It totally amazes me how fatigue kicks in after (in my terms, a lot of) physical or mental activity. But I’m absolutely thrilled at the way I’m becoming a bit… Continue reading DAY 45

Bloomin’ hospital assessment day 🙄 don’t like these, and don’t want to be in hospital as I am, now. Do I have any problems?  Yes, the Doctor is late, and that’s a problem because  I want to go for a walk around Rochester castle … and it’s a blue sky day again. Any medical problems… Continue reading DAY 44

Off to hospital for blood test … followed by long phone call from King’s to check up on any/all of my symptoms. At the blood test they tell me that I’m doing very very well. My Paraproteins are undetectable … that’s amazing! Everything is getting better … I suspect that they’re thinking that I’m becoming… Continue reading DAY 43

I was a little bit grumpy this morning, because I was very tired.   The King’s College Hospital physiotherapist said that I’d be a bit tired on the day after a fairly long walk. But I wonder if she somehow hypnotised me into believing I’d be tired.  She does say things in a convincing way.… Continue reading DAY 42

Sunny blue sky day😊 with a pleasant slow start morning. After lunch we set off for the Friary, and a walk in the sunshine. Our first since the transplant! I honestly feel really excited at the thought of walking in fresh air under blue sky. The King’s College Hospital physiotherapist told me on Thursday to… Continue reading DAY 41

CHRISTMAS DAY, and a lovely day 😊 I had roast potatoes, brussel sprouts, roast parsnip, turkey, pigs in blankets, carrots, cranberry sauce … and Christmas pudding and custard and mince pie … washed down with blackcurrant cordial < that’s amazing for me!!!! And then I slept 🙄😊 < that’s not amazing for me 😊

It’s Christmas Eve 🌲
